Why is Tokyo Godfathers so good?
The same can be said about Tokyo Godfathers. Despite Tokyo Godfathers being a film genre that we usually associate with live-action, Kon incorporates animation techniques that show us how it had to be in this medium. Characters move and perform in a way that is impossible to get the same out of a physical actor.
Is Tokyo Godfathers OK for kids?
Not a Christmas film for the little ones, but an excellent alternative for teens. This is definitely what most would consider "mature animation" even if it's not excessive as say one of Satoshi Kon's other notable films Perfect Blue.
